When Sun Qingxue said that Zhao Mi might already have grasped part of the Delusion Divine Tomb's Secret Method for "drawing on the power of heaven and earth," Little Bad King was not particularly surprised.
His first thought was of his own Three Thousand Secret Treasures. That old bastard Zhao cut his belly open every day to peer into the "Three Thousand Dao Rhymes" contained in his Star Core. That was itself an obvious way to improve himself; his methods were simply rather shady and cruel.
